The Beginning Of the End.

The beginning of disease is a slight
debility or disorder of some of the vital
organs, the stomach, the liver or the
bowles usually. There are dyspeptic
symptoms. the liver is troublesome, the
skin grows tawney and unhealthy look
ing, there are pains in the right side or
through the tight shoulder blade, the
climax is often an utter Prostrsiion of
the physical energies. perhaps fatal
issue. But if the difficulty is net in time
with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
is always effective as remedy, and il
should be resorted to at an early stage.
there will be no reason to apprehend
those injurious subsequent effects upon
the system often entailod by entirely
cured diseases. Far better is it, also. To
employ this safe remedial agent in fever
and ague, and other maiarial complaints,
than quinine and other potent drugs.
which even when they do prove fl .clusl
for time, ruin the stomach and impair
the general health

would be grateful to the man who would
tell them how TO invest it so that it would
yield a sure increase without danger of
loss. 1t is the danger in facs almost
the certainty of partial if not total loss of
capital that deters people from placing
their accumulations in nearly every line
of those enterprises known as specula>
tive. ITO speculate" is to many only
another name for to gamble There
is, however, one means of making even a
small capital accumulate and bear fruit,
with no chance of loss. Real estate is a
commodity which has always an intrinsic
value; power of producing something
which gives it price, an impossibility
of destruction by any misfortune or acct
dent which gives it stability. There
are two ways in which person
can invest in real estate small
or large sum: The first by
loaning to others portion OF its
value. giving 10 them the power Of pos
sessing what otherwise they could not,
and taking in return portion of the
product of such property in the form of
interest. To those who are satisfied
with reasonable income from this in
vestment, this offers the best and safest
way to solve the problem. The other
way is by buying lands with the expecta>
lion of an increase in the value. This
will be affected more or less by circum>
stances, but the certainty of gaining
something, and the possibility Of an in>
crease far beyond any obtainable rate of
interest. would tempt anyone who would
season his investment with the flavor of
speculation. Would you learn more of
